Overall our transition to this school has been great. They offer financial aid, which has been a huge help. Their blended learning model is great for students with different learning styles and needs. Catholic identity is very strong, and is evident in every aspect of the school, from morning prayer, to prayer tables in each classroom. The staff is wonderful, and the students are all so well-mannered and kind. I also love that the older students really love interacting with the younger ones. They have a buddy system for reading and mass, and they really look out for each other.

Academics are excellent, Catholic identity is strong, and the staff is friendly. I couldn't want anything more for my daughter!

This school was great! We just got tired giving our kids junk food and cold food everyday. They had no lunch menu or hot lunch. They cut down on school field trips and other activities. Most of the best staff left, and most parents took out there kids. We thought it was time for us to take our kids out too.

The curriculum is excellent and the teacher's engagement with my son's educational goals is impeccable. This is a big reason for my son's love for school and excellent grades. Most of all my son's spiritual growth and relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ is without question. My wife and I are so please with my son's growth spiritually and educational achievements.

St. Polycarp Elementary School is such a great school, great foundation for children, academically and spiritually. We moved a year ago from Chicago and was overwhelmed what school to enrolled my son, private or public school, my son is in 6th grade. I met with the office staff, very welcoming and the principal is always helpful. She made it easy for me to transferred my son. The school have great program throughout the year and excellent teacher. So far my son loves the school and he's getting great grades in all classes. I'm so happy for the decision we made to enrolled my son to St. Polycarp!

my daughter is attending kindergarten here. Her teacher is one of the bests. I have nieces and nephews going to public schools near by so I know. An excellent and dedicated teacher will leave a good impression on the kid for the rest her/his life. That is why I chose to send my daughter to Saint Polycarp Catholic School.

My daughter is in Kinder and she absolutely LOVES to go to school everyday. She has a true interest in learning and loves being able to read her sight words in signs and postings as we drive around or are in the grocery store. She constantly says that her teacher is nice and she looks forward to her daily hugs from the principle, who is greeting all the children to school in the mornings rain or shine! I have peace of mind knowing that my child is in a good environment being taught a great curriculum along with morals, and our catholic principles. My daughter is putting those teachings into practice I can see that she is learning and that she is growing spiritually by loving and caring for others. SPC is like an extension of our family and I know that she is in great hands everyday! Teachers and Staff are great and make it a point to put the children as their priority.

After being here for 5 years, I still love Saint Polycarp. It's a school that it's always improving. I have a 4th and 2nd grader, next year my son will come to Kindergarden. I like the schedulle 8 to 3pm and the day care too! The thing that I love the most is the staff. Teachers are very profesional, compromise and loving to the kids. Mrs. Wyles the principal is always willing to help and keeps doors open to comunication and sugestions. I would love Saint Polycarp to have more sports Programs and a Music Teacher so the kids can have singing lessons and instrument tutorials. I know that in order to do that the school needs more income so, don't hesitate and come and see our school, you'll love it...

This is one of the best Catholic schools in the area. My son has been attending here since Kindergarten and he enjoys the knowledgeable teachers as well as the school's super friendly principal, Mrs. Wyles. - Donny Vu

My son was in Kinder. We are members of Saint Polycarp comminity and were highly recommended to put our son here. We were please that we did. Now is summer and our son keeps asking us why he can't go to school anymore. Any time we go pass the church/school, he always get excited and asks us take him to his classroom.

St. Polycarp has an amazing staff. The staff has a wonderful relationship with the students. The individual attention that students receive reflect the child's confidence. The staff is patient, energetic, and focused with every student. It is easy to see how happy the students are at St. Polycarp. The atmosphere is friendly and very family oriented.

The education is amazing. The small classes allow the teachers to focus on each child to enrich their learning experience. My granddaughters have been students at St. Polycarp for 4 years and my Grandson will be starting in the fall. The school is like an extended family to us.

St. Polycarp School has enriched my son's life, academically and personally. He started in kindergarten and will be graduating in June. The principal, teachers & staff are amazing. They are engaged with each student's growth & development. They embrace each child and treat them like they are their own. This is a family environment-teachers, staff & parents work together to ensure the best experiences for all students. This school offers a strong academic curriculum. With smaller class sizes, teachers are able to facilitate more classroom discussions. Every child is able to participate & voice opinions - which develops critical thinking skills necessary for their future. As parents, we work very hard to instill Christian morals and values, it is a huge bonus that these morals and values are reinforced at school. St Polycarp holds its students up to a higher standard than other schools and that's one of the many things that sets us apart! This is a financial sacrifice but it's an investment in my son's future. I know that he will embrace life as an intelligent, confident, successful, well mannered young man. This is the perfect school to prepare your child for the future!

I am a graduate of Saint Polycarp school, I attended 1st through 8th grade many years ago. Now, my daughter is attending. The education she is receiving is amazing. I know my daughter will have values that stay with her for the rest of her life. I had a wonderful experience and want the same for my kids. I have a 2 year old son who will also attend when he is older.

Our son will be moving onto high school next year and St. Polycarp has been a wonderful experience for him. Thee small classes allow the teachers to focus on each child to enrich their learning experience. The teachers are young, caring, energetic and know how to motivate each child to do their best. We came to St. Polycarp 4 years ago because of the rave reviews from families we knew from the school the boys used to attend. We also knew the principal and she has done a spectacular job of providing the best possible learning experience for the students. We stayed even after moving 30 minutes away because it truly is an amazing school.

I am a parent at St. Polycarp School, I love this school. It reminds me of when I went to school and we respected our teachers and everyone knew everyone. Our students here respect, and admire our teachers and faculty. The also respect each other. We have many new students start each year and they are welcomed by each and every student. In fact there is always competition with the students to be the first friend. By the time students reach 8th grade they are well rounded individuals with great character. There is a great sense of community here so your not just getting a wonderful education your getting a family for life. You need to go by the school and take a tour to really understand.

My daughter is in 1st grade- we have been there since kindergarten, and we look forward to keeping her there until 8th grade! I cant imagine taking her anywhere else, aside from the great academic program, the school has a genuine family feeling about it. My daughter isnt just a number there-she is a member, we as a family are members of this school. This has helped her feel safe, secure, and grow with self esteem and confidence, what more could you ask for? The teachers all pitch in to help in the spiritual and social development of each child through various extra curricular activities and weekly school masses. There is no better principal on the face of this earth- and I think every member of this school can attest to that. I recommend this school to everyone!
